As I write my first blog entry, I hesitate. How can it be that I am now a blogger? Do I really have something to write that can add value to the amount of information on the internet? What does this mean about me that I am about to take the plunge and be in small part responsible for the blogosphere?
These are interesting questions, and we shall see as my internet story unfolds. As I start this blog, let me dedicate myself to maintaining a true voice, careful to use my words for good, and to not get carried away with this thing.
My hopes in this blog are to give myself time for reflection as I enter into my fellowship experience made possible by the WT Grant Foundation. I hope that this blog helps me process all of the experiences that I will be exposed to over the next six months and beyond. I also hope that I can write something of interest to my peers, so others can learn through my experience. And I invite any readers that I may acquire to send me notes and help inform my fellowship experience, so that I can make sure that my fellowship activities are more relevant to the field of youth mentoring.

best of luck in your new endeavor!
I am thinking maybe daily once I am in Portland, but I need to keep a balance. We shall see!
